Welcome to the pissing contest.


the air locker have 2 viton O-rings that run on one of the bearing spigots, this is where the air is transfered into the carrier to activate the locking mechanism.

An O-ring is not designed to be a radial seal where a shaft turns inside it, this is why I prefer ...

well, i do believe when the pro locker came out all thier selling points were just baggin the air locker.
jac mac's biggest selling point was they used vacuum, so when tjm go to compressed air why is it better? they still have a seal seperating the oil from air.
which o ring are you talking about ...

The Pro locker also uses a one piece cross shaft (better & stronger), whereas the ARB has a three piece design.
The actuating cage cage inside the ARB's hemispere is plastic and cracks with time, they are cheap but require a complete strip down to replace. The Pro Lockers has hardened steel posts ...

WOULD NOT be driving a coil sprung vehicle without shocks! might get away with it on leaves because they are about %75 self dampening, wouldn't try it on coils. :?
